The 20-Year Constitutional Review Commission

A constitutional provision mandates that every 20 years from this reform's commencement, the President shall constitute a Constitutional Review Commission to assess whether the framework's provisions are functioning as designed and recommend adjustments.

Composition. Former Chief Justice (Chair); former CAG; former Chief Election Commissioner; two constitutional scholars appointed through JATC process; two state Chief Ministers elected by the Council of States.

Mandate. Review federal-equity outcomes; assess demographic convergence; evaluate emergency framework; recommend formula adjustments consistent with the reform's founding principles.

The Commission cannot amend the Constitution. Its report is mandatory parliamentary and state-legislative reading, with recommendations debated (not necessarily adopted) within 12 months. This mechanism ensures the reform does not become the next 1976 freeze [@cite_42nd_amendment_1976] — a politically convenient solution that outlasts its own utility and creates the next generation's constitutional crisis.
